Men's formalwear details
Men's shirt cuffs: button cuffs, French cuffs and proportions
Cuffs influence both the practicality and formality of a shirt. The closure, shape and height should work with the jacket sleeve, wrist and occasion.
Button cuffs and French cuffs
Button cuff
The everyday option for business, smart-casual and informal shirts. One or more buttons provide a practical closure.
French / double cuff
A longer cuff folded back and closed with cufflinks, traditionally used with formal businesswear and occasion dressing.
Cuff shapes
Straight
A clean geometric edge for a precise finish.
Rounded
Softer corners that work easily in everyday business shirts.
Angled
Cut corners that make the closure slightly more visible.
How much cuff should show below a jacket?
A small visible section usually creates the most balanced result. Around one centimetre is a useful visual reference, but jacket sleeve length, arm length and cuff construction all matter.
Choose cufflinks with restraint
For formal outfits, metal, colour and scale should coordinate with the watch and other accessories. Decorative cufflinks can work for ceremonies or eveningwear when the rest of the outfit remains coherent.
Match the cuff to the occasion
